The Mastsrpisos ofsaered Music.

No musical composition has ever had
such long and enduring popularity -
THE Messiah"
1t is recognized throughout the whole
world as the most elaborate and com.
plete song Of praise ever written. Its
entire text and motive celebrates the
birth OF Christianity and Of the Christian
year.
1t wa composed by Handel In l74l,
the entire score being written in twenty
four days. The Messiah" was frat
produced under the personal direction
OF the composer at the Musical Hall, In
Dublin. Ireland. on April Is, l742. The
first performance In England was on
March 70, l743.
After this year II was produced annu-
ally by the com oser up To the date Of
his death in 1853, and was the last per-
formAuce ever gwen 10y him.
The success OF the o~ratorio was instan-

wonderful effects. On The occasion Of
the first performancei1 London II is told
that The audience was much affected BY
the music, and at the beginning Of the

they arose to their lie I and remained

And carry misery purse;

For waste and neglect, it is well to reflect

uncharitable SparroWs.

What pity that even our English
sparrows have caught the spirit of UNI
charitableness toward their kind. On
one of the cold days of winter when,
even with their heavy feather coats
these little autocrats found it difficult
to keep comfortable, one of flock who
live down on the Back bay found cosy,
sunny nook in the sheltered corner of a
fence, and called his friends to share
the comfort with him. Many responded
to the invitation until nearly all the
space was occupied; then along flew
another bird and took one of the re-
naming empty spaces, but he was i'm
medately rebuffed in way which was
more emphatic than polite. Again he
tried his luck beside another bird, and
again he met the same rude treatment,
being literally pushed off the rail. The
third time he tried the end roost, but
to no purpose. There was not bird
in that select coterie who would tolerate
him for a moment, and in despair he
winged his way, it is to be hoped, into
more polite company. He was not 'ir
our set" evidently. -Boston Post.
